Energy Star Light Bulb

Making the world a better place starts with small steps in the right direction, and a perfect first step can simply be changing your regular light bulbs with Energy Star light bulbs.

If you exchange the current bulbs in your home with government certified Energy Star light bulbs, you help conserve energy resources and decrease the risks of global warming.  All while saving money, time and effort constantly replacing lights in your home!

Energy Star light bulbs use about 75%  less energy than typical incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer.  Even better, you save about $30 or more in power costs from each bulb.  75% less energy also means 75% less heat, which can cut home cooling/ air conditioning costs, plus they’re safer.  Energy Star light bulbs can replace just about any bulb in any fixture you own, so switch over today!

If you can’t make the full change all at once, start with the most used bulbs, that will cut the greatest cost and energy use.  Just for reference, commonly the most used lights are found in the kitchen ceiling, living room lamps, and outdoor porch.  Energy Star light bulbs can be found at just about any store that sells regular light bulbs.  And just for some added incentive: know that home energy use can cause more than double the greenhouse gas emissions than driving your car!

Even the smallest changes can make a big difference.  So switch over to Energy Star light bulbs.  If every home in the country replaced just 5 bulbs with Energy star light bulbs, it would be like taking 10 million cars off the road, and would save eight billion dollars in energy costs.
